Bradlee Dean's Ministry of Hate Files Police Complaint Against Investigative Reporter

Yesterday, we broke the news about Bradlee Dean lawyering-up and going after the Minnesota Independent, Now Karl Bremer reports that he's received a police complaint filed by the Annandale anti-gay ministry:

Since Ripple in Stillwater began its investigation of Smith’s YCR nonprofit, along with its sister nonprofit Old Paths Ministry Inc., Dean has had YCR’s treasurer register a complaint with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office regarding my articles, and had one of his lawyers send a three-page letter to the parent company of Minnesota Independent complaining about coverage of his organizations by “some reporters.” The letter is on the YCR website.

The complaint mentions Bradlee Dean's pal Michele Bachmann:

SMITH RESORTS TO SHERIFF’S COMPLAINT
Smith took his book-closing one step further when he had YCR’s treasurer, Heather MacAulay of Annandale—Jacob MacAulay’s wife—register a complaint with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office about information she claimed had appeared on Ripple in Stillwater.

The sheriff’s report said MacAulay was “concerned” that information such as “where they live, what they earn, along with other information,” had appeared on Ripple in Stillwater.

Inexplicably, the report further stated that “Heather said the same information is blogged about Michele Bachmann. Heather said she is uncomfortable with this and that it is uncalled for.”

Karl Bremer says that the information he reported was public:

However, as treasurer for YCR, MacAulay should well know that salary information and addresses of a nonprofit’s property and offices are all a matter of public record. They can be found in public property tax records, IRS Form 990s, the Attorney General’s Office and the Secretary of State’s office. In fact, the MacAulay's home address is listed as the registered corporate office for You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International, Inc. in its Articles of Incorporation on file with the Secretary of State's office.

For the record, nothing has appeared on Ripple in Stillwater that can’t be found in public records—and most of it is online.

On his websites and on the radio, Bradlee Dean has spoken with an increasingly bellicose tone about reporters and "radical" media , in particular the Minnesota Independent who he claims has an "anti-American infatuation" with him and is part of conspiracy orchestrated by financier George Soros.
